Gillespie to sign for the Blades

[Blade16]

Apparently warnock is going to hold talks with him over the next few days and is going to offer him a short term deal.

i think he could be a useful backup player just in case Ifill gets injured (hope not)

 

[Linz]

Experience is always a good thing.

Surprised some people aren't moaning about his age like they did with Shipperley.

 

[Blade16]

how old is he anyway

 

[Linz]

He's 30.

DOB: 18-02-1975

 

[Blade16]

oh good so at least if we do get him he will still have a good couple of years left in him then

 

[dansufc]

He's signed just been on hallam fm sport news

 

[Linz]

Yep, it's on main site now.

Signed a 12 month contract.

 

[Nade]

He could be a good signing. He's a bit old now though.

Best crosser I've seen playing for United.

You must be very young.....

You must be very young.....

Exactly - Colin Morris, Alan Woodward and Tony Currie weren't too shabby either

I had the first two in mind, actually, but yes you are right.

I rate Gillispie very highly though. Highly in my list of most overrated Blades, that is. He's right up there with Mitch Ward but still a long way behind current leader Nigel Spackman.

I know Currie wasn't a winger "per se" but I remember some (albeit young memories) of cracking crosses that he supplied. Brian Deane was also very good too....

 

[Nade]

Gillespie overrated? I thought he did a decent job for us, especially considering he was a last minute free signing.

Nice bloke too.

I thought andy Liddell was better

Can anyone explain why we've picked up a thread from 10 years ago?

Geoff Salmons, Bill Punton, even Paddy Buckley when he got a game...

Oh, could you put the kettle on please? Time for a cuppa before I go shopping I think...

 

[Large Mendonca]

I do make a cracking cuppa, if I may say so myself...........

 

[raul]

Make sure you're back for the Shoutbox Pinch.

I'm more of an Aldi man myself.

I think Nade was feeling nostalgic.

Crackin' bump from the boy Nade.
